Synopsis:
In the early days of the great cattle industry, the "night guard" knew that at any time his outfit might be jumped by Indians who coveted their horses – or by outlaws who wanted their cows for a quick cash sale. Riding slowly around the bedded herd, crooning some song he had learned or made up, the "night hawk" kept his ears open and his eyes "peeled" for danger. When his watch was over, he rode back to the camp and spoke softly to his relief. He never touched the sleeping man. He knew that man might wake at any unexpected touch with a knife or a blazing gun in his hand.

L. A. Huffman, photographer of the American West, celebrated the night hawk in his photograph "The Night Hawk In His Nest," depicting a sleeping man in his bedroll surrounded by his saddle, spurs, revolver, hat, saddle, saddle blanket, &c. and a horse hobbled in the immediate background. http://tinyurl.com/oq3jyfw
